As we previously reported, Russia is preparing its new e-Visa for early 2021. A few days ago, we received new details about the latter:
As you know, the new version of the Russian e-Visa will enable you to visit the country on a single visa, whereas previously you had to apply for an e-Visa specific to the 3 oblasts proposed by the Russian Government (Kalingrad, Leningrad, and the Middle East). The 29 entry points and 52 nationalities eligible for e-Visa have also been announced, with European countries among the eligible nationalities. The list of air, rail, land and sea entry points may still evolve.
Regarding your stay, the forthcoming electronic visa allows you to visit Russia for tourism, business or humanitarian purposes for a period of 16 days. Once the document has been issued, you will have 60 days to travel to Russia.
As a result of the health crisis, this e-Visa, initially scheduled for January 1, will now be available "early 2021", according to the Russian government.
Tourism is an important sector for the Russian economy, as it contributes to economic growth and offers employment opportunities in various sectors such as services, catering, hotels, transport and leisure.
Tourism is the 6th sector in terms of direct and indirect contributions to Russian GDP.
Russia is a country rich in cultural history and offers a rich variety of tourist destinations. The country boasts many popular sights, including Red Square, the Kremlin, the Hermitage, St. Isaac's Cathedral, the Moscow History Museum, the St. Petersburg History Museum and many other famous sites.
It is mainly supported by foreign visitors and visitors from neighbouring countries, such as the Czech Republic. China, Germany, Finland, Poland and Estonia. The development of tourism in Russia is a key factor in diversifying the Russian economy and reducing its dependence on the raw materials industry.
Major sporting events such as the 2018 FIFA World Cup, held in Russia, have also helped attract large numbers of foreign visitors.
